Men’s tennis rallies to defeat UNLV, end Mountain West Conference play

In its final Mountain West Conference game of the season, the San Diego State men’s tennis team found itself down 3-1 with only three more singles matches to play.

If one match went awry, it would result in another conference loss.

Instead, the Aztecs (5-13, 2-5 MWC) won the last three sets to stun the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels (11-11, 5-2 MWC) on April 24 at the Aztec Tennis Center.

At the beginning, it didn’t look so good for the Scarlet and Black.

Graduate student Rafael Almazan Gonzalez and senior Aaro Pollanen were the first to fall in doubles as senior Alex Kobelt and sophomore Milos Dibac took a 6-3 win on the third court.
